The relationship between Yegor Letov and Yanka Diaghileva. The female embodiment of the Siberian underground – Yanka Diaghileva

It is curious that in this list there are no Slovaks, Croats and Italians, whose states also fought with the USSR, as well as Spaniards. The fact is that the first two nationalities were considered in the USSR as those whose states were occupied by the Nazis. In the USSR in 1942, a Czechoslovak military unit was formed (first a brigade, at the end of the war - a corps). The Croats did not separate from the other Yugoslavs. The Italians and Spaniards who accepted citizenship of the USSR could only be convinced anti-fascists. There were especially many Spaniards in the USSR who emigrated after the defeat of the Republic in civil war 1936-1939

They were subject to conscription on a general basis; in addition, there was a very strong influx of volunteers among them. During the war, for the same reasons of political unreliability, as well as due to the insufficiently high combat effectiveness of the mass of conscripts as a whole, the conscription of representatives of a number of other nationalities was postponed. Thus, on October 13, 1943, the State Defense Committee (GKO) decided to exempt from the conscription of youth born in 1926, which began on November 15, 1943, representatives of indigenous nationalities of all the union republics of Transcaucasia and Central Asia, Kazakhstan, as well as all autonomous republics and autonomous regions North Caucasus. The next day, the State Defense Committee decided to begin their conscription from the following November, 1944, and into the reserve, and not into the active army.

Often these decisions are incorrectly interpreted as ending the conscription of these nationalities altogether. However, they clearly state that the deferment of conscription applies only to youth of the specified year of birth. It did not apply to all older ages.

In rather ambiguous conditions, conscription took place among the indigenous peoples of the Far North, Siberia and Far East. Before the adoption of the USSR law on universal conscription on September 3, 1939, their representatives were not conscripted into military service. armed forces. In the fall of 1939, their first conscription took place. In some sources you can find statements that from the first days of the Great Patriotic War, representatives of the indigenous peoples of the North began to be called up to the front. This is contradicted by the decree of the State Defense Committee, issued in the first weeks after the start of the war, on the liberation of the indigenous peoples of these regions of the RSFSR from conscription. True, there are no exact indications of the date and number of such a resolution. Searching for it by name did not produce results. However, not all the names of the State Defense Committee resolutions for 1941 have been published.

The same authors report that in a number of cases, the conscription of the indigenous peoples of the North was approached formally, and there were numerous cases of desertion of conscripts. In addition, in Nenets national district In the Arkhangelsk region in January 1942, reindeer transport battalions were formed. There are indications of similar formations in other regions of the North. The names of many representatives of the indigenous peoples of the North who fought in the Red Army during the Great Patriotic War are known. Patriotic War and awarded orders and medals of the USSR. Among them are infantrymen, snipers, pilots, etc.

“The Guard dies, but does not surrender,” - this is how Napoleonic General Pierre Cambronne tried to save the honor of his soldiers after the defeat at Waterloo. Unlike the French, the Russians always fought according to this principle and won.

Russians

This story happened in the Black Sea during the war with Turkey in 1829: in the Bosphorus Strait, three ships of the imperial fleet stumbled upon the Turkish fleet. Two managed to escape from the enemy, but the brig Mercury fell behind. The captain of the brig, Alexander Kazarsky, and the officers decided to accept an unequal battle, and then blow up the brig. The sailors supported the commanders.

Mercury entered the battle with 20 guns against the enemy's 170 guns. The Russians fought so fiercely that the Turks were immobilized and could not fight. The mysticism was that on the Turkish brig there was captain II rank Semyon Stroynikov, who two days before the events on the frigate "Raphael" surrendered to the Turks.

Emperor Nicholas I, having learned about this, uttered the words “Russians do not surrender” and ordered “Raphael” to be recaptured from the Turks and burned. Nicholas's will was fulfilled. The frigate was destroyed in battle.

In 1903, two years before the feat of the cruiser “Varyag”, a new signal appeared in the “Combat Code” of the Naval Ministry: “I’m dying, but I’m not giving up!”

Tuvans

“Black Death” - that’s what the Germans called the Tuvan soldiers. Little Tyva itself declared war on Germany. 8,000 volunteers went to the front. Even with the clear superiority of the Germans, the Tuvans fought to the death. Near the village of Surmiche, ten Tuvan machine gunners, led by their commander Dongur-Kyzyl, died, but did not surrender. Two Tuvans became Heroes, 5,500 veterans received orders and medals.

Ossetians

Residents of Ossetia have always honored the behest of their grandfathers: “If you have weapons, surrender is a shame for the family!”; “Ossetians are heroes, of which there are few, give me more of them,” wrote Grand Duke Nicholas to the Caucasus in 1877.

The Vladikavkaz regiment, which was staffed only by Ossetians, covered itself with unfading glory during the Russo-Japanese War. “Captivity scares Ossetians stronger than death“- eyewitnesses recalled during World War I. In 1916, the Ossetian division was surrounded by the Austrians. They were offered to surrender, but the Ossetians sang their grandfather’s battle song, which they perform at the hour of death, rushed at the enemy, plunging him into horror, and returned to their own.

Highlanders

Von Blaramberg in the 19th century wrote about the mountaineers: “When they see that they are surrounded, they give their lives dearly without surrendering.” Detachments of murids swore on the Koran to die, but not to surrender.

Desperate fighters were the Kabardians and Balkars who served in the mountain hundreds of the Terek-Kuban cavalry regiment. During Russo-Japanese War many highlanders were awarded medals and orders for their exploits.

“They don’t surrender and don’t take prisoners,” they said about the cavalrymen of the “Wild Division,” which consisted of six regiments: Kabardian, Dagestan, Chechen, Tatar, Circassian and Ingush.

Turkmens

Valor and the ability to fight to the end - that's what we're all about tsarist army respected the Turkmens. They showed military skill and valor. “One fights against our five and will never give up.”

The Turkmen remained faithful to their oath, and they had no worse crime than to betray their own. Governor-General of Turkestan Nikolai Grodekov wrote: “If they had discipline, they would make the most formidable cavalry.”

Adygs

IN Soviet time the words “Russians do not surrender” became known after the Caucasian Circassian poet died in Ukraine at the beginning of the war, defending the withdrawal of his comrades. Finding himself surrounded, when asked “Surrender, Russian!”, he exclaimed: “Russians do not surrender!” and blew himself up, killing 30 Nazis.

When information about the feat of the courageous Adyghe got into the newspaper, the phrase “Russians do not give up!” began to inspire soldiers of many nationalities to heroic deeds.

Other peoples of Russia

The Great Patriotic Country was defended by the people of all the nations that inhabited it. Brest Fortress held by fighters of 21 nationalities: Russians, Tatars, Ukrainians, Belarusians, Adygeis, Azerbaijanis, Armenians, Balkars, Georgians, Jews, Ingush, Kazakhs, Kalmyks, Karachais, Kumyks, Latvians, Mordvins, Germans, Uzbeks, Chechens and Chuvash.

“I’m dying, but I’m not giving up!” the defenders wrote on the walls.

Leningrad did not surrender, surrounded by the enemy for 872 days. Russians, Ukrainians, Belarusians, Jews, Tatars, Armenians, Poles, Germans, Finns, Swedes, Lithuanians, French, English, Karelians, Italians, Czechs, Norwegians, Greeks, Gypsies, Mordovians, Danes, Serbo-Croats and Slovenes lived in Leningrad .

Northern peoples

Among the Chukchi, the custom of not surrendering to the enemy was determined by faith. They believed that to get to heaven, you had to die in battle or be killed, and they preferred not to give up, but to die.

And the old enemies of the Chukchi, the Koryaks, did not surrender for fear of the fate awaiting them. During wars, Koryak women always kept a knife ready to kill their children and themselves, but not become slaves.

The Yakuts are distinguished by their extraordinary courage. So, for example, after the counter-terrorist operation in the Caucasus, the Yakut riot police have the reputation that they are excellent fighters: they do not surrender and do not abandon their own.

There was such a representative of Russian rock of the 80-90s. One of her most popular albums is “Sold”. How she died is not known (at least to me). So I want to know How? Where? and why?

Comments

P.S. from Optimist

And so, I’m sending you another article that Natasha dug up on the Internet. A vile article - from Moskovsky Komsomolets. The correspondent specially visited Irina Lityaeva in Novosibirsk, asked about Yanka, this and that, but in the end she just wrote such vile stuff. Someone commented on it, saying that there are a lot of inconsistencies, but as they say, the fairy tale is a lie, but there is a hint in it...

And besides, this is what it means to be real. Don’t play “mothers and daughters” or “founding fathers”, but get the job done, no matter what. For example, like Letov. And don’t play around like Yanka.

It’s not a man’s business to sort things out.

S.P. from the Pessimist: Why then be a man?
Soon the Yankees had a young man, Sergei, with whom they chose a strange system of relationships - to live in silence. Then Yanka thought about the child. But the doctors diagnosed her with infertility.

At this time, she practically did not give concerts, and did not come to previously planned events. At one of these disrupted concerts, someone said: “At the Yankees terrible depression, she came to Moscow, lay for a day on the bed facing the wall and went home..."**************

Shortly before her death, Janka took a “vow of silence.” For two weeks she did not utter a word. This was the most critical moment in her life. Even the parents sensed something was wrong. And they took her to the dacha.

On May 9 she went into the forest. Father didn't pay attention sudden disappearance daughters. I'm used to this kind of behavior. “She’s probably returned to the city,” he thought. However, a few days later, he contacted the police.

“Yanka has disappeared, she is nowhere to be found,” Sergei Lityaeva called on the same day.

“I’ll teach you how to find her, just take my words seriously.”
